    Description

    Are you a veteran looking for a meaningful way to serve your community? Join our team as a Veteran-to-Veteran Hospice Volunteer and provide companionship, understanding, and support to fellow veterans in their final journey.

    Veterans share a unique bond that goes beyond words. Your shared experiences can bring comfort and dignity to patients who served our nation.

    What You'll Do

    • Providing Veteran to Veteran patients visits
    • Participating in Individual and community Pinning ceremonies to honor veterans and first responders
    • Facilitating connections with fellow veterans through group activities, discussions, or support groups
    • Organizing and participating in special events or ceremonies to honor veterans, such as Veterans Day celebrations or military branch-specific recognition events
    • Offering assistance with accessing veteran benefits, resources, and programs available through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)

    Why Volunteer?

    • Continue your legacy of service.
    • Make a lasting impact in the lives of fellow veterans.
    • Flexible scheduling and full training provided.

    Who We're Looking For

    • Veterans of all branches and eras.
    • Individuals with a compassionate heart and a desire to give back.

    Together, we can honor those who served and ensure no veteran faces the end of life alone. If you have the heart to serve, we would love to have you join our team! To get involved, contact Jennifer Porter at Jennifer.Porter@Compassus.com, or fill out a volunteer application on our website: Search for Jobs - Logo
